Wisdom tooth study reveals hidden anxiety triggers
NCT ID NCT06388265
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 82 adults getting their wisdom teeth removed to understand their anxiety levels, blood pressure, and mouth health. Researchers measured anxiety using standard questionnaires at several points before and after the procedure. The goal was to learn more about how patients feel during dental surgery, not to test a new treatment.
